Alright this is my first post but I’ve been reading on here for forever getting insights, mods, etc about my car. I have a 2000 olds bravada awd that is in perfect running condition and I have a 2000 4wd blazer totaled in the yard. I’ve been trying to come up with ways to get rid of this bs Smarttrack system in my car. The awd is out anyway because the transfer case needs an encoder motor. But I think I found out a way to do away with the smarttrak awd and get selectable 4wd. As I am aware the awd transfer case stays engaged 24/7 as long as the car is moving it’s just when the car needs to shift into awd the encoder motor sends the signal to the front diff to engage so it’s computer driven. The front axel of the blazer is manually driven through the vaccuum line. If I swapped that axel into my bravada and used a Posi-lok cable to engage the front axel instead of a vaccuum line shouldn’t I have selectable 4wd?

I have that transfer case in the blazer. Is it hard to go about changing It to manual?

Well technically couldn’t I do that with the tcase I have? If I swapped to the 3 button case I would still have to come up with something so the transmission would know I’m in low gear when I’m in 4-lo. If I did that to the one I already have the tcase just has a 2 hi and 4 hi. So I wouldn’t have to wire anything.
